I highly recommend that you buy from a authorized dealer. I am 99% positive those are fakes along with most of the suspiciously cheap AT/Senns headphones on ebay.

Yeah, that auction is an illustrated guide for what fake esw9's look like. Don't throw away money on those and accept that the cheapest you'll find genuine esw9's is around 220 bucks new.

Ok, authorized dealer it is. Thanks for the help!

Good choice..you will enjoy them!

Thank you all! I ordered a pair and are being shipped

I'm also considering getting a Fiio e5 to give them a boost, they seem to have good rep around here. And getting a ibasso LOD for a finishing touch.

I am confused about the "burn in" process. The way I understand it, the headphones need to....nvm I just read the FAQ. hehe

I am excited to experience the (alleged o_O) burn in process. And my first high-end headphones!
